Wayfair shares have rallied 73% over the past year as new spending data signals a potential turnaround in the home-furnishings category. Bank of America's Consumer Spend Collective report showed e-commerce spending rose 13% year over year in May, while online penetration expanded 1.8 percentage points to 29.8%, and U.S. Census Bureau data indicated nonstore retailers rose 12.2% from a year earlier.
